Running Time: 95 min |
The days reach out. Birds chatter and sing. Gentle rains linger.
The Spring thaw has come.
And from the ground, tiny hopes awaken, three seeds, Three Sisters, wearing green.
Three Sisters is a roll and write dice game where you plan, plant, nurture, and harvest a small farm over a single growing season.
Using techniques practiced by indigenous peoples for centuries, you grow corn, beans, and pumpkins, each one supporting the other. Will you start an orchard? Or tend a hive of bees? Perhaps a glorious stand of wildflowers? Each die you choose will shape your garden and the goods you can bring to market.
Listen in to explore the game and learn why we think Three Sisters is a game with soul.
